QEMU can automatically create a virtual FAT disk image from a directory tree. In order to use it, just type:
qemu linux.img -hdb fat:/my_directory
Then you access access to all the files in the /my_directory directory without having to copy them in a disk image or to export them via SAMBA or NFS. The default access is read-only.
Floppies can be emulated with the :floppy:
option:
qemu linux.img -fda fat:floppy:/my_directory

qemu linux.img -fda fat:floppy:rw:/my_directory
